| Description: | They Weren't Fooling. When these Marines went over the top from the beach on Tarawa Island they knew they were going to have a fight on their hands but they just set their jaws as this picture shows and charged. Sheer determination and the knowledge that they couldn't be licked, defeated the Japanese in what has been described as the toughest fight in Marine Corps history. (National Archives, USMC Hdqtrs #63,473). |
